This summer, give your Under-11 team the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to play on the iconic Utilita Bowl pitch before a packed crowd at a Hampshire Hawks T20 match.
Teams will take part in an exciting T20 Skills Challenge, putting their abilities to the test as players smash sixes, bowl under pressure, and take stunning catches on the main outfield.
The winning team and runner-up from each challenge will enjoy an unforgettable reward, forming the Guard of Honour and/or taking part in a player hat-signing session before the main match action begins.
Cricket aims to inspire the next generation to choose cricket - and Hampshire Hawks players have been out and about doing just that.
